The VCR can play PAL VHS cassettes or just NTSC?

To me, that VCR plays only NTSC (U.S, Canada, Mexico, Japan, etc). It did not play my PAL VHS (common in Europe,Asia, and Africa). Sadly, the return policy from the seller was not fair to me since I would lose more money if I decided to do so. Uselessly, I ended up to keep it. Good luck!

Yes, you can record anything to either DVD or VCR.I have been using it to copy VCR tapes to DVD. Works very well

This is inaccurate. PAL discs are converted by the player. I have one and tested it soon after it arrived. It works flawlessly on my NTSC-only TV. This player will play literally almost ANYTHING. Format, code, region, you name it.

I don't think so. There is a component and S-Video output - So if you can hook this up to your computer you could use it but there is no need. This device eliminates copy protection. So unless the VCR tapes have copy protection you don't need this device. What it sounds like you want is analog video capture ability. Check out USB devices for capturing video signal.

You would need something to actually play the tapes. This just converts incoming A/V to digital.

It has NTSC and PAL display modes. It changes the aspect a little bit. As for PAL-format DVDs, I am not sure.

Yes, this plays VHS tapes and DVDs. You can also dub/copy from VHS to DVD or from DVD to VHS.

If your Vhs player only has RCA jacks you will need an adapter or special cable but yes it will work

Yes, you can view VHS tapes on this unit too. See my response to "Has anyone been able to play/view a VHS tape?"

Yes can convert ntsc to pal or pal to ntsc, but the bad feature that it works at 1 frame per second, not worth money, useless, waste of money

CHECK OUT THE PRODUCT DESCRIPTION!"NTSC & PAL Playback (PAL playback requires a TV that also supports the PAL format)"ie, NO. Unlike other Philips DVD players you need a PAL TV to view PAL with this player.

Yes, the S-Video output from VCR machine can be connected to the Video in side of the DVD recorder. Sound cables are connected as normal. The sound quality from older VHS tapes may be noisy. If you have a PC with a DVD drive, and software to edit video, the simpler solution is to record the VHS tape on to the hard drive, use the sound filter, and then burn the DVD.

NTSC and PAL is to do with the TV not the player as far as know. Since attached to computer the computer just plays movie and then displays on computer screen.

What about video tapes? If I attach a VCR, can I transfer my old VHS recordings onto a DVD using this DVR Recorder?

Yes! This is why I bought it. I can convert my VHS tapes to DVD discs. It works perfectly. The only thing you can't do is watch tv on another channel when you are recording a program.

The camera I have is NTSC only. A PAL model may be available but I am not aware of it.

Hi. I don't know what PAL is? The DVD/VCR Combo that I purchased does play both DVD and VCR formats. However, the unit will not allow me to advance on the DVD format. Very disappointing.
